Errors loading applications in Task Bar/Notification Area at Start

All of a sudden I am experiencing a problem wherein - at Startup - the sound
and/or Network system icon(s) fail to load.

Sometimes they do and often they don't!

Sometimes both fail to loads; sometimes only Sound fails to load.

When they DO FAIL to load, if I right click on the Toolbar, choose
Properties, click on the Notification Area tab, these icons that failed to
load are greyed out and can not be selected. On the next boot, if they fail
to load again, this same sequence of actions will show them as available for
selection.

What is happening? What can I do to ensure that the first three system
icons (Clock, Sound, and Network) ALWAYS load?

I have tried selecting and deselcting the Hide ?Inactive Icons feature but
that has not made any difference or resolved the issue.

HELP!!!!

Try this: Right click the toolbar, choose Properties, then the Notification
Area tab, and uncheck the box "Hide inactive icons". Click the Apply button
and you should be OK.

If that box isn't already checked, check it and reboot, then uncheck it.

If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.
